After a successful launch, the ambitious MMO Dune Awakening is now faced with the anger of the players, and his studio split a response to their complaints.
Available since June 10, for the time being only on PC, Dune Awakening was able to capture the attention of players and fans of the emblematic original work of Frank Herbert. Funcom’s new ambitious MMO (Conan Exiles) recorded a nice peak of almost 190,000 players connected simultaneously in its first launch week. However, the starting jubilation has turned into a complaint regarding a central element of the game, and the studio had to be accountable.
Early diplomatic incident on awakening
The iconic universe of Dune has been entitled to many more or less striking video game adaptations over the years. Dune Awakening is however the first attempt to adapt this mythical work of scent-fiction in an MMO, with a proposal as ambitious as promising. Namely the possibility of creating your own avatar and shaping the iconic planet Arrakis according to the desires of the players. This both via a scripted quest and players against environment (PVE), but also players against players (PVP), in clans struggles worthy of the conflicts between the big houses of books for the conquest of the spice.
Unfortunately, this is where the rub for Dune Awakening. More specifically with regard to Deep desertan exclusively PVP area, where players compete fiercely to obtain the rarest resources, and can even destroy opposing bases. Many members of the community However, complain that the reappearance time in this area is far too fast (about ten seconds). Thus, the largest teams will overwhelm the smallest and win the wear, ultimately making the experience unsatisfactory.
Funcom quickly took note of players’ complaints on Awakening, and promises to work on ” A bunch of changes and corrective ». With regard to the problem of too rapid reappearance time, it was obviously not planned, and will be the subject of a modification in the next update. In the meantime, it may be wiser to avoid walking in the deep desert, unless you have a number of troops worthy of the Atreid Houses or Harkonnen.
